For those who tried to get London Olympic tickets but received non of them, there might be a second chance as a new ballot for unsold tickets is planned for later this month.
Around 55% of the people who applied for London Olympic 2012 tickets didn’t receive anything they asked for, but in a number of areas there are still quite a lot of tickets available, especially in the team games such as volleyball, hockey, tennis, basketball and handball as there are lots of events and rounds.
Now those people will be given priority in this second ballot which gives them a bigger chance to get at least one ticket, although it should be noted that most of the cheaper tickets have gone and all the tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies have also gone, plus of course the 100m final.
Surprisingly, sports such as the BMX competitions and archery have also gone.
According to the BBC, a London 2012 spokesman said: “Those who were unsuccessful in the initial process will have priority in the next round of sales which start later this month and they will be contacted soon to inform them about the next steps.”
